Every day, about 10 or 15 pictures (sometimes are more) of Buenos Aires are published in my blog called Hostel Colonial Buenos Aires running on Tumblr. 4400 published photos of this magnificent city. Incredible night and day views. Neighborhoods of Buenos Aires, intimate places, bars, cafés, street art, moments of everyday life, images of yesterday and today, advertising, vintage things, all images are used to build part of the identity of Buenos Aires in a “Click Porteño“.
These images are mine, in my other blog of Buenos Aires, you can see works of many other amateur and professional photographers. For now it is only an invitation to look, the idea is that at least once in their life, come to Buenos Aires, in Hostel Colonial we are waiting for you.
All publications are posted on Twitter, Tumblr and Facebook, you can follow us on these social networks. In the right column are the shortcut links.

On April 17 th., 2007 I opened my account on Twitter, it has been 2 years. I have no doubt that Hostel Colonial Buenos Aires was the first hostel in the world have an account on Twitter. Almost without realizing was joined followers and friends, slowly the network was expanded, there were very few in fact and in my case is not yet understood the importance and correct use of a micro-blogging platform like Twitter.
I like Twitter, I also like Blip.fm, both the social networks that are mostly used over Facebook, Orkut, Plurk, Jaiku and Pownce (no longer exists today).
Virtual friends became real friends. Some followers (mostly Argentines, we are First World. Do you remember? We find it too look inwards.) ceased to follow me, is almost a natural condition.
Every day there are more events related to Twitter in Buenos Aires, this is my debt, I could not go to anyone else. The network is vast and the result is absolutely positive.
Has been so long since we
Blog de Viajes, the
Best Spanish Language Blog, published “
A hostel in Buenos Aires was using Twitter“, learning time, until they came to be finalists in the
Lonely Planet 2009 Travel Blogger Awards –
Best Micro-blogging.
In the middle, the people, the most important thing in this way it has to transcend the virtual space of
140 characters, the ones who know, the ones who I know.
To all, thanks. Jorge

Definitivamente si los últimos posts escritos en este blog tuvieran que ser incluídos en alguna subcategoría, sin duda sería “Semana de los posts sobre Redes Sociales” o “Buzz in the Web 2.0 on Social Media Optimization-SMO“.
Porqué escribo esto? Básicamente porque luego de los posts sobre Plurk, Blip.fm y blogs amigos, el contenido a editar en los próximos días iba a estar centrado más en la ciudad de Buenos Aires, con material realmente muy bueno (a mi criterio), algunas notas en francés y una aplicación que estuve analizando que realiza de forma muy simple traducciones de gran calidad y luego las convierte en un podcast.
Hasta el mediodía de hoy no iba a haber cambios en las publicaciones, pero revisando algunas cosas en
Technorati, me encontré con una nota en un
blog español, la cual contiene un extensa lista sobre empresas del sector que utilizan
Twitter en
megustaelturismo.es cuyo autor es
@nandollorella a quien conocí obviamente en
Twitter, y luego de leerla y de hacer mi propio análisis, me decidí a escribir.
Sin dudas que Nando se ha tomado un gran trabajo al realizar desinteresadamente este lista, intuyo con el fin de que aquellos que usamos Twitter y desarrollamos actividades en el sector turístico, podamos interactuar.
En particular y observando los datos publicados, creo que @HostelColonial ha realizado un buen trabajo y creo que gran parte se debe a que Hostel Colonial on line es Jorge Ferrari, un hombre detrás del ID, motivo por el cual, más allá de anuncios y de notificar nuevas publicaciones, he podido relacionarme con gran cantidad de gente con actividades muy disímiles, colaborar en campañas de prevención sobre VIH/SIDA, conocer nuevos amigos y hasta tomarme licencias mayores como musicalizar la red, es por ello que mi participación en Twitter es más que parte del trabajo, un verdadero placer.
Si analizo los números fríamente, la conclusión es que somos #1 en cantidad de updates, # 6 en cantidad de followers (casi la misma cantidad de following profiles, lo que da cuenta de la interacción) sobre una base de 79 empresas incluídas en la lista, más que bien.
Gracias Nando.
